O SIX) WY Norway, June 3. (By As
sociated Press.) Lieutenant Lutzow
Holem, formally selected today to
head the Norwegian government fly
ing expedition in search of tho
Amundsen-Ellsworth party, told tho
newspaper Dagblad today that his
orders were to reconnoitre along the
edge of tho arctic Ice field without
attempting to fly across the ico to the
north pole.
, He said he thought he would be
nhlr from the air to see about 300
miles on clear days. He said, how- J
ever, it would be difficult for him to
distinguish single human beings from
tho air. He explained that Amundsen
has smoke bombs for use as signals
and that he hoped to be able to locate
the explorer by this means.
The Norwegian admiralty today
shipped skils, sledges, tents and other
supplies to Horten, a port on the
Christiania fjord, about 32 milos south
of Oslo.
The ship Ingertre, which will be
used for the relief expedition is at
Horten. It will transport two sea
planes, supplies and Norwegian avia
tors toward the arctic and at some
point to be selected later the fliers
will take off In an attempt to locate
Amundsen.
Holm some months ago was en

Chinese students withdrew momen
tarily from their crusade against for
eign rule this afternoon and retired to
their area of the city to bury with
Confucian ceremonies several of their
confederate dead, who fell In the riot
ing. After the funeral service student
speakers In the Chinese section sound
ed a changed note. They urged the
throngs to avoid clashes with foreign
defendeds, pointing out the folly of in
viting certain death by attacking
empty handed armed foreigners,.
As an alternative the speakers coun
selled united action in spreading the
strike and ceasing Intercourse with
foreigners and blocking the delivery
of food supplies of every character
thereby driving out their opponents.
Efforts to extend the strike have
been excellently systematized and con
siderable cash has been expended. Ev
ery foreign employed Chinese is being'

brought by threats Involving families.

and killed his horse, while Dr. .Martin
was on duty with tho volunteer corps.

Military Forces,

More Wars When Human
Nature Changes.
ANNAPOLIS. Juno 3. (A. P.)
Reduction of the nation's standing mil
itary forces to a minimum Is predicted
upon attention to military affairs by
the average citizen. President Coolidge
declared horo today, before tho grad
uating class of tho naval academy.
While appointing the new officers
as ambassadors of peace and citizen
ship, the president reminded them that
the first essential of peace and security
is an adequate defense which "should
be broadly extended and borne by all
our people."
"Wo do not believe in or wish to
bear the expense to maintain large
standing military forces," he said. "The
very, genius of a republic would be
threatened by that policy. Hut while
mllitifry science has advanced to. such
a degree that it is necessary constant
ly to maintain a considerable body of
trained experts in that profosslson, the
true spirit of American institutions re
quires that each citizen should be po
tentially a soldier, ready to take his
place in the ranks In time of peril,
iethcr in the field or in the, necessary
productive activity. ' ,' .
- "It is exactly because we wish , to
keep our standing forces small that
tho average citizen must give some
attention to military affairs, precisely
as ho gives somo attention to other
J government affairs, in order that he
may -express a deliberate and informed
I judgment at tho ballot box."
The president reiterated that Amer
ica's aim was "a policy of peace rath
er than force,' 'and declared that In
Its dealings with the people of this
eartr.
"Though ultimately I believe peace
will prevail," he continued, "I have
too much knowledge of .the, history of
y anklnd and too much experience with
tho traits of human naturo to dare as
sor that we shall never ngaln be en
gaged In War. It Is known of all the
world that we have not present or
traditional enmities, that we covet no
territory, harbor no Imperialistic de
signs, and aro not arming ourselves
with the expectation of attacking or
being attacked. And so far as we can
look Into the future, so far as we can
guage tho power and temper of other
peoples, there never was a time when
it Is loss likely that any other nation
or combination of nations would or
could make any attack on tis.
"As one who Is responsible not only
for our national defense but likewise
our friendly relations with other peo
ples ad our title to the good opinion
of the world, I feel that tho occasion
will very seldom arise, and I know It
does not now exist, when those con
netced with our navy are Justified,
either directly or by Inference, in as
serting that other specified powers aro
arming against us. and by arousing
national suspicion and hatred attempt
ing to cause us to arm against them.
"The suggestion that any other peo
ple are harboring a hostile intent to
ward us is a very serious charge to
make. We Would not relish having our
honorable motives nnd peaceful In
tentions questioned: others cannot rel
ish having any of us question theirs.
We should not forget that In the world
over the general attitudo and one of
the strongest attributes of all peoples
Is a desire to do right."
As an Instrument of peace. Mr. Cool
idge cave assurance tnat tne navy
would draw adequate support from the
federal treasury and he gave support
also to voluntary organizations which
attempted to advance tho welfare of
tho nation by keeping the public In
formed "of Its true aims and pur
poses. "A strong military establish
ment alone, ho said, would not prevent
nnyone from, over attempting to molest
the nation.
"I know of no nation In history that
'has ever been able to attain that posi
tion," he said. "I see no reason to ex
pect that we could be tho exception.
Although I bellevo thoroughly in ade
quate military preparations what I am
trying to antue Is that they nre not
sufficient unto themselves.
